Ok, so people often ask me what I have for breakfast, because they think the caveman diet is too much work. Here’s something easy that I have almost every day, and I never get bored of it. In fact, I make this so much that I actually wore out my old Braun hand blender and had to buy a new one. I got the Betty Crocker (don’t laugh) hand blender from Walmart. It is ridiculously powerful, and came with a clear beaker with measurement marks on the side for blending things in. At less than $15, there’s no excuse not to get one!
Here’s how to make the shake. In the beaker, add:
- Frozen berries (President’s Choice or Europe’s Best or whatever 4-berry mix you can find) up to the 200mL mark
- A handful of raw unsalted almonds
- Two tablespoons of plain yogurt (I recommend Astro Original 2% because it has all natural ingredients and whey protein)
- A tablespoon of ground flax seed (optional but highly recommended)
- Fill to the 350mL mark with unsweetened fruit juice (I recommend President’s Choice or Oasis blueberry/pomegrante juice with no sugar added)
- Fill to the 500mL mark with 1% or 2% milk
Blend! Enjoy.
This breakfast drink takes me about 5 minutes total to make and clean up afterwards. It energizes me almost instantly and keeps me going until lunchtime. Give it a try for a week and see what it does for you.
pictures!
make a picture of it, it would increase the effect of this entry tremendously 🙂
and I got the magic bullet blender recently, it’s neat too
oh yea the magic bullet looks like fun. 🙂 and i didn’t make a picture of the shake, although maybe i will tomorrow. it’s basically purple liquid.
When i saw “caveman shake” scrolling in my rss ticker I immediately thought of a big steak in a blender,
meat smoothie, mmmmmmm
that sounds nice though
must get blender
hah meat smoothie… that is something i haven’t yet tried, but maybe i will.
until lunch time? really?
the only thing that works for me is eggs with sausage, i sometimes dont get hungry till dinner if i eat that. full of protein, maybe that’s why
it’s actually the fat in that meal that triggers your stomach to tell your brain that you’re full. that’s why fat is critical to a good diet. a little bit signals your body that you’re full so that you don’t overeat.
hehe, you said ‘fat’ and ‘good’ in one sentence, I like your diet! :p
but yea, I know what you mean
